Handling Prematurely Sprouted Persimmon Seeds and Acorns

Immediate Potting

Plant each sprouted seed in separate pots; cover with soil. Keep moist, well-drained.

Place in cool room or unheated porch/garage (above freezing) to slow growth without killing. These are deciduous trees germinating out of season.

After last frost, harden off 10 days in shade, then plant in desired location.
